The Oil Analysis Laboratory processes 700,000 per year. A LIMS was used to schedule samples and store results however each sample was manually reviewed to assure accuracy of results and incorporate specific interpretation comments.
The Laboratory Needed To Modify The Work Process To Keep Up With The Increase Sample Load.

Laboratory Manual Review ProcessLaboratory Manual Review Process
Analytical Data EvaluationThe process of reviewing the data of each sample to assure that the quality control parameters are within specifications and the data is consistent with historical results.
Data InterpretationThe process of comparing the sample data to OEM specifications, determining the severity of the variance and making recommendations to the client.

Analytical Data Evaluation ProcessAnalytical Data Evaluation Process
Quality Control SampleEvaluate the QC sample to assure that it is within specification. Reanalyze batch is outside limits.
Historical ResultsCompare results to historical values. Reanalyze samples if results are inconsistent.
Compare Results To Other TestsCompare results to the results of other tests to identify inconsistencies. For example, a high Sodium value is indicative of antifreeze contamination. If the sample is negative for antifreeze it will be reanalyzed to verify the result.
